Well that depends where you’ll be wandering. Downtown Altay, about 10 miles from Altay Airport (AAT), can be a little tricky to drive in.

If your trip is more about cruising the wide-open roads, then you may like something with a little more comfort and room to move. What about a full-size car or a standard SUV?
